o_O nice! dang, kind of a slam dunk eh? kudos to you and Oren!
so, here's another question - can you flip flop between both billing types?
let's say someone had a project like ours and the first phase of the project was development of their virtual world - could that initial phase be done under your per minute model - ie, only a few people (or one overly worked french canadian with wings and pink hair - i'm just sayin') develop the world, so $35 a month would be peanuts in this case (gold plan)
development would be nearly as cheap as using sim-on-a-stick!
then once it was ready to rock and roll, switch over to the monthly plan?
seems like such an awesome workflow!
oops, edit: i minimise textures like mad (ya should read my blog! =p). i like to build without textures as much as possible and when i do use textures, they are small and usually made for multiple use (ie, gray-scale so they can be tinted in-world). in fact, all the textures i use for Enclahe Harbour are on flickr! w00t!
PPS - Maria - you should change the article title to Ilan and Ener discuss Kitely!!!) =D
